	Changes for version 1.2
	-----------------------
	Added Help.

	Added keyboard commands to operate scroll bars.

	Added ability to copy a character to the clipboard. Now you can
	effortlessly paste special characters into other applications.

	Added Character Info message box which pops up when you double
	click on a character. Shows value in Hex, Decimal, and Binary.

	Put the "Shades" cursor back in the About Box.
	
	
	Changes for version 1.1
	-----------------------
	Added Default Palette selection in Charset menu.

	Added EBCDIC character chart.

	Made some minor tweeks in appearance.

	
		
	Description of program
	----------------------
	ACHART is a Windows 3.0 program which displays a character 
	chart in the form of a 16x16 table. The following variations may
	be displayed:

		IBM PC character set. Smiley faces and all.

		ANSI character set using names (NUL, SOH, STX, etc.) for
		the control characters.

		ANSI character set using (^A, ^B, ^C, etc) for the control
		characters.

		EBCDIC character set. Everytime I see this I can't help
		but wonder what drugs they were using that would make
		breaking up the alphabetic characters seem like a good
		idea. A really remarkable encoding that everyone should
		be familiar with.

		Default Palette selection in Charset menu. OK, this isn't a
		Charset. Too bad. The default palette is what you get if you
		specify colors in a Windows program using PALETTEINDEX(num)
		without first having created a logical palette. As far as I
		know there are never more than 20 entries so it may seem 
		strange that I display them in a 256 entry table. Well, maybe 
		someday there will be more. Besides, I already had code to 
		display a 256 entry table.


	Pointless Rambling
	------------------
	You may be wondering why I wrote this program. Practice mostly.
	I've been playing with Windows and wanted to write something that
	was at least somewhat useful. Then too, I'm always looking for
	an ascii chart and I prefer the table format over the typical
	list format because it allows me to see all the characters at
	once. That makes it easier to find the value for all those special
	characters than if I had to scroll through 256 lines.

	So why aren't I asking for a donation? Yeah, right. 
	Like I really believe anyone is going to send me money. 
	I doubt it would really be worth the trouble of 
	having to mess around with a handful of $5 checks anyway.
	Face it, all I really want is the glory. That and of course 
	women throwing themselves at my feet. Everybody knows that 
	Windows programmers get all the girls. At least that's
	what Bill Gates keeps telling me, though the folks over at 
	IBM keep whispering "OS/2, OS/2," in my ears as I sleep at night.
	So don't send me money unless you really happen to have a
	lot of it. If you want to send me glory, expensive presents,
	fabulous job offers, or if you're a woman who wants to throw
	herself at my feet, you can write to me at the following address.
	By the way, I apologize if this sounds sexist, but I'm really
	not much interested in having any of you guys throwing yourselves
	at my feet.
